"Brother, I have already asked about this. Some of them fled to Goryeo by boat in advance, and some of them died in the battle when the Jurchens attacked the city. Later, the Jurchens entered the city and killed many more, and there are only a few left. People. Qinbei Pavilion"
Gongsun Sheng said.
"I have killed all the Jurchens. You also know the character of the Jurchens. They must retaliate. When the Jurchens come again, there will not be a single person left alive in the city. You should run away for your lives!"
Sun Lei pointed at the Jurchen head on the flagpole and spoke to the locals.
These words made the locals feel relieved. They were afraid that the people in front of them were as cruel as the Jurchens.
"The city gate has been opened, run for your life! It's up to you whether you survive or not!"
Sun Lei pointed to the open city gate and said, Liaodong is very large, the Jurchens are few in number, and their control is limited and it is impossible to hunt them down. It should not be difficult for these people to escape and survive.
After Sun Lei finished speaking, the fearful people cheered and went home to pack their things and leave the city, leaving only a few hundred people at a loss.
"Aren't you going to leave? Staying in the city is a dead end!"
Sun Lei looked at the people who stayed. Except for a few young and middle-aged people, most of them were old and weak, women and children. However, there were also old and weak people among the people who left just now, and these people were not unable to walk.
"Your Majesty, we are all Han people from Liao. We have nowhere to go without Suzhou City."
An old man said helplessly that the Liaodong region has always been a mixed place of various ethnic groups. Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, there have been constant wars here. They can only go with the flow and obey whoever comes.
But the more war breaks out, the more distinct the races become. Those who have just left include the Khitans, Xi people, Koreans, and Bohai people. If they leave, they can join other tribesmen in the mountains and forests.
But the Han people in Liaodong are different. They mainly focus on farming. Now that all the cities in Liaodong are in the hands of the Jurchens, they will most likely die if they go.
The mountains and forests are filled with those alien races, and no one has any spare people to support in Liangshan. The result of their going there is most likely to become slaves, and their end will not be much better than if they stayed in Suzhou City.
"What do the military advisors think?"
Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong, Gongsun Sheng and Li Zhu and asked.
"Brother, the Navy is still short of some handymen. I think these people are good. The men can farm and build, and the women can sew, mend, wash and rinse. They can also help the Navy solve all logistical pressures."
Xu Guanzhong said, these are Han people from Liaodong. If you say that you ignore them, it is somewhat unjustifiable, and it is not the style of a hero.
"We are from the Bohai Sea. Now we give you a choice. Follow us and we will find you a place to stay."
Sun Lei looked at the few hundred people left and said.
When they heard that Sun Lei was willing to take them away, those people kowtowed to Sun Lei without any hesitation.
"Brother, we are heroes!"
Lu Zhishen patted Sun Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile. His laughter was very heroic, and you could tell that he was in a very good mood.
"Is this a hero? What if our army comes to Liaodong one day to regain our homeland and rescue our compatriots?"
Sun Lei laughed and said.
"The Sa family is waiting for that day!"
Lu Zhishen also laughed, and everyone laughed. This battle was very important to them and Liangshan. With this battle, they were no longer just thieves, but real national heroes. They became the capital of the imperial court. Something that cannot be done.
"Hurry, I promised Daoist Gongsun and Daoist Ma."
Sun Lei said with a smile, a true man makes a promise, and he never forgets his promise.
"Thank you brother!"
Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling said excitedly with clasped fists and a deep bow. If Sun Lei was just describing the future and reorganizing armaments before, then today is the first step. If they can capture Suzhou City today, they will be able to conquer it tomorrow. It is no longer a dream to capture the entire north and regain Yanyun.
"Let's go back first. Next time we come back, the army will sweep across the north!"
Sun Lei greeted everyone with a smile.
After finishing packing, we came to the beach. Ruan Xiaowu had already led the navy to meet him on the shore.
"Take care of the two empty ships and let these people board them first."
Sun Lei pointed at the people who followed and said to Ruan Xiaowu.
"Yes, brother!"
Ruan Xiaowu didn't ask where these people came from. As long as Sun Lei came back safely, nothing mattered.
"Is there any news from Zongze?"
Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaowu and asked.
"Not yet, no news has come back from Xiaoqi till now."
Ruan Xiaowu shook his head.
"Let's go to sea first."
Seeing that everyone had already boarded the boat, Sun Lei gave an order to Ruan Xiaowu.
Everyone returned to the island and anchored to rest.
Because of the big victory, Sun Lei was not stingy and took out all the delicious food and drinks he brought and held a banquet to celebrate.
Everyone was in great joy, drinking and drinking, and the sound of chatting and laughing could not be heard.
The banquet lasted from noon to evening. Just when everyone was about to disperse, Ruan Xiaoqi's fleet also came back.
"elder brother!"
After seeing that Sun Lei and others were safe, Ruan Xiaoqi was overjoyed and smiled and waved and shouted on the mast.
Zongze on the deck looked defeated. Most of the soldiers behind him were gone, and most of the remaining soldiers were injured.
"It looks like we won!"
Sun Lei laughed and said, although it seems unkind to be happy now and gloating about misfortunes, the victory that the brothers won through bloody battles must be laughed to show the glory.
"Zong Tongpan, it looks like the winner has been decided!"
Sun Lei looked at Zongze who was getting on the boat with a smile.
"I lost!"
Zongze said directly that this was his first time leading troops in combat and his first time fighting against the Jurchens. Although Sun Lei reminded him, he still underestimated the Jurchens' combat effectiveness.
"These soldiers are all injured!"
Zongze pointed at the soldiers behind him and said.
"As long as Master Zong Tong abides by the bet, medicine for his injuries will be no problem."
Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and said, as long as Zong Ze surrenders, it's easy to say anything. If he doesn't surrender, he can only kill them all and throw them into the sea. There is no need to waste medicinal materials.
Zongze didn't speak in silence. Sun Lei knew that this was his acquiescence, and smiled and asked Zongze to take the soldiers down for treatment.
"Brother, this Zongze is really good at fighting. If the Jurchens weren't so strong as a single soldier, Fuzhou would really be captured."
Ruan Xiaoqi said.
After Zongze led his troops to Fuzhou, he knew that he could not attack by force because of the limited number of soldiers. After discovering that the Jurchens' defense was weak, he entered the city in four groups at night and set fire to several forage yards in the city in the middle of the night to attract the Jurchens' attention.
Zongze personally led hundreds of elites to kill the government office, intending to capture the thieves first and capture the king first, and first kill the Jurchen general Wanyan Mu to cause chaos to the enemy.
There were only more than a hundred Jurchen black-armored heavy cavalry in the government office. When Zongze entered the government office, he happened to encounter these heavy cavalry going to the stables. Zongze immediately led his troops to kill them to prevent the heavy cavalry from mounting their horses.
But the result was very bad. The gap in combat power between the two sides was really too big. Even those heavy cavalrymen without horses were not something ordinary soldiers could deal with.
Zongze realized all this and knew that nothing could be done. He immediately withdrew his soldiers into the alley, preparing to use speed to spread the distance and defeat them one by one.
But the Jurchens did not follow common sense and did not pursue them at all. They just ran to the stable to ride horses. Zongze could only block them with a trip horse rope on the street.
The two sides fought until dawn. Without the cover of darkness, Zongze knew that he could not take Fuzhou City, so he could only withdraw to the ship with his soldiers.
